The operating speed for USB 2.0 devices connected to the port on the right
side will be limited to USB 1.1 speed.
When using devices before Windows has started up (e.g., when starting
the computer from a floppy disk or CD drive), connect the device to the USB
port on the left side (USB 2.0-compatible).
USB devices may be connected or removed without turning off the
computer’s power.
When a USB device is connected, there are cases the standby or hiberna-
tion function will not operate in a normal manner due to the USB device. In
addition, a USB device may have to be removed temporarily and the com-
puter restarted in cases where the computer is unable to start up properly.
Even after the driver for a USB device has been installed for one port, if the
device is connected to the other port, the driver will have to be reinstalled.
Some devices will not operate when connected to a USB HUB; these de-
vices must be connected directly to the USB port on your computer.

Device Manager and the device may not be correctly recognized. If this
happens, try removing and connecting the device once more.
